Lee Jae-myung, Leader of South Korea's Democratic Party, live-streamed himself scaling the walls of the National Assembly to bypass military barricades so that he could vote to overturn the President's martial law.

Just watched this tonight - it was fantastic, I liked the music most of all, then the use of colours. It was a gorgeous movie. Some say they guessed the ending early on, but certainly not me (＞人＜;)

It is important to realise that behind each fragment and each number were countless humans who had a life as distinct and complex as our own
